United Kingdom voters will cast ballots in a national election today, passing judgment on Sunak’s 20 months in office, and on the four Con- servative prime ministers before him. They are widely expected to do some- thing they have not done since 2005: Elect a Labour party government. During a hectic final two days of campaigning that saw him visit a food distribution warehouse, a super- market, a farm and more, Sunak in- sisted “the outcome of this election is not a foregone conclusion.” He said Wednesday that whatever the outcome, he had a “clear con- science.” “As long as I can look myself in the mirror and know that I am working as hard as I can, doing what I believe is right for the country, that is how I get through, and that is what I believe I am doing,” Sunak said. But even a last-minute pep talk at a Conservative rally Tuesday night by former prime minister Boris Johnson — who led the party to a thumping election victory in 2019 — did little to lift the party’s mood. Conserva- tive cabinet minister Mel Stride said Wednesday it looked like Labour was heading for an “extraordinary land- slide.” Labour warned against taking the election result for granted, imploring supporters not to grow complacent about polls that have given the party a solid double-digit lead since before the campaign began. Labour Leader Keir Starmer has spent the six-week cam- paign urging voters to take a chance on his centre-left party and vote for change. Most people, including ana- lysts and politicians, expect they will. Labour has not set pulses racing with its pledges to get the sluggish economy growing, invest in infra- structure and make Britain a “clean energy superpower.” But nothing has really gone wrong, either. The party has won the support of large chunks of the business com- munity and endorsements from trad- itionally conservative newspapers including the Rupert Murdoch-owned Sunday Times and tabloid The Sun. The Sun said in an editorial Wednes- day that “by dragging his party back to the centre ground of British politics for the first time since Tony Blair was in No. 10, Sir Keir has won the right to take charge.” Former Labour candidate Doug- las Beattie, author of the book How Labour Wins (and Why it Loses), said Starmer’s “quiet stability probably chimes with the mood of the country right now.” “The country is looking for fresh ideas, moving away from a govern- ment that’s exhausted and divided,” Beattie said. “So Labour are pushing at an open door.” The Conservatives, meanwhile, have been plagued by gaffes. The campaign got off to an inauspicious start when rain drenched Sunak as he made the announcement outside 10 Downing Street on May 22. Then on June 6, Sunak went home early from commemorations in France marking the 80th anniversary of the D-Day in- vasion, missing a ceremony alongside U.S. President Joe Biden and France’s Emmanuel Macron. Several Conservatives close to Sunak are being investigated by the gambling regulator over suspicions they used inside information to place bets on the date of the election before it was announced. It has all made it harder for Sunak to shake off the taint of political chaos and mismanagement that’s gathered around the Conservatives since Johnson and his staff held lock- down-breaching parties during the COVID-19 pandemic. Johnson’s successor, Liz Truss, rocked the COVID-weakened econ- omy with a package of drastic tax cuts, making a cost-of-living crisis worse, and lasted just 49 days in of- fice. There is widespread dissatisfac- tion over a host of issues, from a dys- functional public health care system to crumbling infrastructure. But for many voters, the lack of trust applies not just to Conservatives, but to politicians in general. Veteran rouser of the right, Nigel Farage, has leaped into that breach with his Re- form U.K. party and grabbed head- lines, and voters’ attention, with his anti-immigration rhetoric. The centrist Liberal Democrats and environmentalist Green party also want to sweep up disaffected voters from the bigger parties. Across the country, voters say they want change but aren’t optimistic it will come. “I don’t know who’s for me as a working person,” said Michelle Bird, a port worker in Southampton on Eng- land’s south coast who was undecided about whether to vote Labour or Con- servative. “I don’t know whether it’s the devil you know or the devil you don’t.” Conner Filsell, a young office work- er in the London suburbs, would like a roof of his own. “I still live at home. I would love to be able to have my own place, but the way things are going it’s just not on the cards,” he said. Lise Butler, senior lecturer in mod- ern history at City University of Lon- don, said that signs point to this being “a change election in which the Con- servatives are punished.” But she said that if Starmer wins, “the years to come … may be challenging.” “He’ll probably be facing constant attacks on various grounds from left and right,” she said. “So I think that while the outcome of this election is pretty clear, I think all bets are off in terms of what Labour’s support is going to look like over the next few years.” Starmer has agreed that his biggest challenge is “the mindset in some vot- ers that everything’s broken, nothing can be fixed.” “And secondly, a sense of mistrust in politics because of so many prom- ises having been made over the last 14 years which weren’t carried through,” he told broadcaster ITV on Tuesday. “We have to reach in and turn that around.” Many election experts expect a low turnout, below the 67 per cent record- ed in 2019. Yet this election may bring a scale of change Britain has not seen for decades if it delivers a big Labour majority and a diminished Conserva- tive party. In Moreton-in-Marsh, a pretty town of honey-coloured stone buildings in western England’s Cotswold hills, 25-year-old Evie Smith-Lomas rel- ished the chance to eject the area’s longstanding Conservative member of Parliament. “This has been a Tory seat forever, for 32 years, longer than I’ve been alive,” she said. “I’m excited at the prospect of someone new. I mean I think 32 years in any job is too long. You surely have run out of ideas by now.” — The Associated Press JILL LAWLESS ANDREW MILLIGAN / PA VIA AP United Kingdom Labour Leader Keir Starmer speaks during a visit to the Caledonian Gladiators Stadium in East Kilbride, Scotland, Wednesday. Putin meets Xi second time since May as leaders hail ties PRESIDENT Vladimir Putin trum- peted Russia’s “fully fledged part- nership” with China as he met Chi- nese counterpart Xi Jinping for the second time in less than two months, highlighting Moscow’s deepening embrace of Beijing. Russo-Chinese ties “are at their best in history,” Putin said at a meet- ing on the sidelines of a security summit Wednesday in Astana, Kaz- akhstan. “They’re built on equality, mutual benefit and respect for each other’s sovereignty.” “My dear friend, I am very happy at our new meeting,” Xi said. China and Russia should continue to strengthen strategic co-ordination and oppose external interference, Xi also said, according to a readout from the Chinese Foreign Ministry. He added that China supports Russia in fulfilling its duties as the rotat- ing chair of the BRICS, uniting the Global South nations, preventing a “new cold war” and opposing “illegal unilateral sanctions and hegemony.” On Ukraine, Xi reiterated China is “always on the right side of history” and is willing to make positive efforts to promote peace talks and political resolution. Since Xi and Putin last sat down in May, the Russian leader has been strengthening his partnerships around Asia. Putin made his first trip to North Korea in 24 years last month, where he signed an agreement with Kim Jong Un to come to each other’s aid if attacked. Kim also pledged to “unconditionally support” Russia in its war on Ukraine. Putin followed that with a visit to Vietnam, where he said Moscow was considering changing its nuclear doctrine in response to talks in the West about “lowering the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons.” Russia recently held combat drills to practice the use of tactical nuclear weapons. The Russian leader’s threats to use nuclear weapons since his February 2022 invasion of his neighbour have drawn condemnation from the United States and its NATO allies. Xi, too, has warned against resorting to nu- clear weapons. China and Russia have united in a mission to counter the U.S., as both nations face growing scrutiny from the West over their military goals. Their leaders have responded by pushing to broaden groups in which they have more sway. The BRICS bloc of emerging-market nations doubled this year, welcoming Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Ethiopia and Egypt. The Shanghai Cooperation Organ- ization summit is expected to see Belarus become the 10th member of the regional grouping set up by China, the SCO’s Secretary-General Zhang Ming told Chinese media out- lets Monday. Iran joined last year. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Er- dogan has expressed interest in join- ing the bloc and met Putin earlier on Wednesday at the summit. Erdogan invited Putin to Turkey and said that Ankara is ready to assist talks over ending the war in Ukraine. The Turkish leader told his Russian counterpart that “a fair peace that can satisfy both sides is possible,” a Turkish government statement said. The meeting between the two lead- ers was the first since Turkey ap- proved Sweden’s entry into NATO earlier this year, a response to Rus- sia’s invasion of Ukraine, and comes ahead of Erdogan’s participation in a summit of the alliance’s leaders in Washington next week. Xi stressed the importance for Global South nations to exert greater influence on international affairs at an event in Beijing last week. Devel- oping nations “need to work together to be a stabilizing force for peace,” he said. China’s Foreign Ministry spokes- woman Mao Ning said in a regular briefing Monday that the SCO had “become a fine example of a new type of international relations and region- al co-operation.” Beijing hopes the summit will “contribute to the secur- ity, stability, development and pros- perity of all countries,” she added. China will take over the SCO’s ro- tating presidency after the summit in Astana. Xi will also visit Tajikistan this week. — Bloomberg News ;
